Henry Ford Genesys Internal Medicine Residency
The Faculty
Who We Are
Dr. Natalia Baj-Osiewicz
I was born and raised in Poland, however I consider myself a Michigander, since I have lived in The Mitten State since late ‘90s. I love to travel, and I had the opportunity to see many countries while serving in the United States Navy. I went to University of Michigan for undergraduate studies and returned to Poland to attend medical school. I chose internal medicine residency with plans to become a primary care physician. I love living in Michigan as it provides countless opportunities for outdoor activities. My family and I love to spend time outdoors sailing, camping, and off-roading in the summer; snowboarding or sledding in the winter. When the weather is gloomy, I love to cuddle with a good book in my hand, a cat in my lap, and a cup of tea.
